Is this ball joint greaseable?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket that lets you flush in fresh lubricant to push out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear over time.
What are signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play in the joint. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at once?
This listing is for one ball joint. Replacing the matching joint on the other side at the same time is a good practice for balanced steering and handling; consult your service information.
